The Power of Choice

April 28 - I will resolve to observe with new interest even the commonplace things that happen today.  If I learn to see everything with a fresh eye, perhaps I'll find I have countless reasons for contentment and gratitude.  When I find myself trapped in the quicksand of my negative thoughts, I'll turn away from them - and grab for the lifesaving strength of sharing with others in the Program.

Do I carry my weight as an all-important link in the worldwide chain of Gamblers Anonymous?

Today I Pray:  I pray that God will open my eyes to the smallest everyday wonders, that I may notice and list among my blessings things like just feeling good, being able to think clearly.  Even when I make a simple choice, like whether to spend my leisure time in a sport, at a concert, or getting together with abstinent friends, may I be reminded that the power of choice is a gift from God.

Today I Will Remember:  I am blessed with the freedom of choice.
